Add Pan and Tilt capabilities to your camera. This system consists of the necessary brackets and hardware to allow you to pan and tilt your camera.  Two servos are required for its operation and selected as default options below.  The panning servo option is a standard servo that will mount into any of the Trekker scanner brackets. The tilt servo option is also a standard servo.  Higher torque and metal gear servos are also available as options below for the pan and tilt.  If you already have the servos, you can deselect the options below.

The servos can be controlled with a standard RC controller or using a PIC. They will plug into any of the 5 servo expansion plugs on the Trekker OOPic II/II+ expansion board. You can set it up with a program that continuously monitors the entire area with one camera as it pans and tilts around.  The tilt range is about -10 degrees to 120 degrees.  The pan range is about 180 degrees depending on what you control it with.  Simple RC systems ususally can only drive about 120 degrees.   A microcontroller can comand larger travel.

An optional scanner bracket can be added to let you determine the distance to an object the camera is looking at. A single scanner bracket will support either a Trekker IR or Trekker Ultrasonic Sensor. The dual bracket will support both the Trekker IR and Trekker Ultrasonic Sensors (as shown in picture below).
